I've xen server with 8 domU. Server is Xeon E31270 with 16gb ram. I think it is enough for 8 machines. Sometimes domU's crashes and i can't figure out the reason.

After crash i can connect to console and there is somthing like this:

Seems like there isn't enough memory for this domU. But there is no any memory problems reported in munin monitoring:

memory usage

As you see system uses around 0.2G and 1G is available.

So my question is:

Is it xen specific problem, that real memory usage and memory usage that shows munin are different (I've never seen such problems oh real hardware machines)?

Or maybe it is just monitoring problem, that can't catch moment when there is unusual high load and domU go down?

And how I can to defeat this problem? it is really annoying to catch messages in e-mail that domU went down.

Btw, such situation was when domU had 2G memory.
